Dog Lost At Sea Played Real Life Castaway

A doggone feel good story:

Sophie Tucker, a pet dog lost at sea, played real life Castaway for 4 months.

According to Sophie Tucker's owners, she went overboard in rough seas off the northeast Queensland Australia coast in November, 2008. Her family believed she had drowned. Apparently, Sophie Tucker swam 5 miles to almost uninhabited St Bees Island.

When island rangers first spotted her, the dog looked in bad shape, but with each sighting Sophie Tucker looked healthier and rangers found feral baby goat carcasses on the island.

Last week, rangers captured the dog and Sophie Tucker's owners contacted the rangers with the faint hope it was their long lost dog.

It was.

Amazing what an animal can do with a little dogged determination.

Doggles: The Pet Accessory from Hell

Just when I thought every possible asinine item had been invented, I have now discovered Doggles. By the way, I thought we had seen the last asinine item when I saw the first commercial for the Snuggy. What are Doggles? Exactly what you might think: goggles for dogs. What useful purpose would they serve? Why, to block out harmful UV rays. Of course.

At this point I must ask you, are we turning our canine population into a pack of wimps? Seriously..Doggles? Would Lassie wear Doggles? Old Yeller? Scooby? Of course not.I understand the American Public's love affair with their dogs..but..come on.

All this aside, how do these work? I own 3 and 1/3 dogs (one chihuahua). My three larger dogs are 2 Hyper German Shorthaired Pointers and One Scared of His Own Shadow Lab Mix Mutt. The possibility of me placing said Doggles on any of the aforementioned canines is nil. And, if I did get them on..they would either be off in a matter of seconds or completely destroyed in the attempt.

Doggles for my dogs?

Sorry Rover old buddy, you're going blind.
